Hey all. So my husband and I finaly moved the 4 - 11 week olds out to the run. Unfortunately one is smaller than the others so the 3 existing hens have been picking on her. So, we built them a play pen inside their inclosed run with a dog crate for a makeshift coop for now. Hoping they'll only be in there for a couple of weeks before we can let them run around with the big girls. Anyways, they are not sleeping in their makeshift coop. They're all piling on one another against the fence. Is this okay? Or do I need to make another game plan? The lows at night are like 50. We live in Oregon.
Also, one of the recently moved chickens sneezed a couple times in front of me when I was out with them. My husband went out at night to check on them and heard no sneezes. They've only been out for 3 nights. They seem to enjoy it out there during the day but get scared at night Besidss the sneezes, everything else is fine. Eating, drinking and such. Should I be worried?!
Thanks everyone!!
Tried to post a picture of their set up but it won't let me.
